Management
Artemundi Management Limited, a management team with a wealth of experience in the art market.
Artemundi Global Fund’s (“AGF”) management, Artemundi Management Limited, is made up of art collectors and dealers who have invested more than $300 million in fine art since 1988. We believe that success in the fine art market depends on accumulated qualitative and quantitative methods; global market arbitrage combined with the ability to identify, interpret and capitalize on specific art transaction opportunities. Artemundi Management Limited also has multinational expertise in the areas of logistics, safekeeping, restoration, cataloging, taxation, duties and conservation.
As active traders in many different forms of art deriving from many significant periods, Artemundi Management Limited has a unique and ongoing perspective of the art market, ever mindful of changing tastes and tendencies. They are constantly monitoring the AGF strategy to ensure that they are on course. This validates that AGF is indeed choosing the right works at the right time at the right price and that each contributes to the Fund’s expected return. Simultaneously, the management team makes the auditing of the Fund easier and more transparent. At any point in time, both the Fund administrator and the auditor can more precisely assess the real value of the portfolio and produce timely and accurate reports. Furthermore, active management enables AGF to generate the necessary liquidity required to take optimum advantage of unexpected opportunities that come its way.
Javier Lumbreras serves as the CEO of Artemundi Management Limited and is a fifth generation art collector from Spain. He is also the author of the book The Art of Collecting Art, an all-encompassing view of the art market and an excellent guide to anyone wishing to invest or collect fine works of art.
